Joomla 3.7 Custom User Fields - How to access through PHP & JFactory::getUser

[James Newton]

I've created a new custom user field (Joomla! 3.7.0-rc1). Its a media field holding named "logo" allowing users to upload a logo image.
I'm attempting to use that image elsewhere in the template and thought that I would be able to use ...

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
echo $user->logo;
?>

...to access the new custom user field (named logo). I haven't been able to find any documentation yet on how we'll be able to access these custom fields in templates or other extensions once we've created them in the backend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See
model - JForm::addFieldPath()
xml form - addfieldpath
template - JFormHelper::loadFieldType()

Same for rule classes(just change Field to Rule).

Just loading the user will not get you the associated custom fields. Those are assigned during the "onContentPrepare" event. So you would need to trigger that event with the right context to be able to use those added fields.

The documentation is still a work in progress.Tobias is doing a good job with it.

Do something like:

JDispatcher::getInstance()->trigger('onContentPrepare', array ('com_users.user', &JFactory::getUser(), new JRegistry(), 0));

print_r(JFactory::getUser()->jcfields);

Does anybody have a solid clear answer for this?

[Allon Moritz]

Short answer is that you need to trigger the onContentPrepare event on the user object and then you can access the fields $user->jcfields.

Hi laoneo
Would you please show me how to trigger that event and how then to access the field?
